SB 968: Community colleges: San Mateo County Community College District.

California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified July 20, 2026

What SB 968 does, verified July 20, 2026

This bill aims to extend the authority of the San Mateo County Community College District to adopt a policy using local unrestricted general funds to provide fee waivers to students with the greatest financial need. The district is currently allowed to use these funds to provide assistance to students for the total cost of attendance, but only for students who reside within the district boundary. The bill would delete the repeal date, allowing the district to keep this policy indefinitely. Additionally, it would repeal an obsolete reporting requirement.
